pyramid scheme

stand at the door of a pyramid step into the tunnel
here a kid observes open mind like a funnel
all these people caught in the bubble of death and taxes
death and taxes
but the angle of the axis, from the core to abraxas
sacajawea points the way out
yes head west head first like a baby in birth
pray to gaea mama please won't you quench my thirst
manifest our destiny from sea to shining sea
sincerely seek a burning tree that points to me with a burning branch
clutch our wands across the water
moms sons dads and daughters
because before the morning star there stands an empty sky
and the sun burns hotter when you hold it in your heart
and i swear at the center of the fire there's nothing
touching the candle's flame with my bare hand
ashes and blisters
scratches and whiskers
clashes and whispers
madness and magic and wax-dipped wicks
fixed facts held fast slip and lose grip
with just one hit of sacramental mixture
kiss the smoke spit the scripture
scarred sand scorched earth and castles made to fall
basketball beatbox lymph nodes and sheetrock
we talk to seek god cuz she walks in bebop
peacocks and peapods and restocked reeboks
ewoks in treetops and qi gong for memaw
fox and coyote bakin pizzas in chichen itza?
that's what you see when you step with me
into the pyramid
